    Vancouver Island Brewing has announced the release of a new collaborative sampler pack to raise funds for the preservation of wild B.C. salmon stocks, a vital food source for the Southern Resident Killer Whales that live in the Salish Sea. Pod Pack 2021 – which follows a similar release in 2019 – features four beers created in collaboration with other island breweries, each of them named after one of the whales in the local pods studied by marine biologists. The beers and participating breweries include: Mike Rosé Pale Ale (5.2% abv) – Whistle Buoy Brewing, Victoria Solstice Plum & Rosemary Saison (4.2% abv) – Ace Brewing, Courtenay Tahlequah Pacific Gose (4.8% abv) – Mayne Island Brewing, Mayne Island Wave Walker Helles Bock (6.8% abv) – Ucluelet Brewing, Ucluelet https://www.psf.ca/support/donate-online Details of the 2021 Pod Pack compiled by Joe Wiebe - https://bcaletrail.ca/vancouver-island-brewing-pod-pack/ Mike Rosé Pale Ale (5.2% ABV) BREWED WITH WHISTLE BUOY BREWING – VICTORIA, BC The namesake of scientist Dr. Michael Bigg, who was known as “the father of killer whale research,” Mike (J-26) is a 30-year old male member of the J-Pod who has two living siblings, Alki (J-36) and Echo (J-42), and one younger sibling who passed away before the age of four, Scarlet (J-50).
